ZAPHODBEEBLEBROX is the code for level select in the wonderful game “The 7th Guest”.

Loading a program from disk on the Commodore 64

LOAD"*",8,1

I haven't loaded a game on that system since I was probably 10 or so, but I'll never forget the command.

I memorized it as L-O-A-D shift-2 star shift-2 comma eight comma one.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I choose to believe that the * means everything... but what does the 8,1 signify?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

There's another user who replied to me who answered much better than I could.

down, right, left, right, square, circle, square, triangle, circle, square, right, left

The level select code for Abe's Oddysee on the PSX. The last time I actually used this code was probably some time around 2002, maybe even earlier.

The 7 names of the antique greek Muses:

Calliope
Clio
Polyhymnia
Euterpe
Terpsichore
Erato
Melpomene
Thalia
Urania

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It wouldn't be antiquity if the 7 anything were actually 7 would it?

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Don't you complain when you have paid for 7 but got 9! 😉

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

The idqdd for the game ChexQuest (which ran on that engine) was "charlesjacobi". I assume this was a dev's name.

I might as well go first. A friend read this to me once over the phone in 1997 or thereabouts, and it stuck:
Cracked
09B9085A

..Sadly, winzip stopped accepting that as a valid reg key some time in the 2000's.

Lol, just reminded me about win XP CD key. Not 100% sure it's still accurate but:

[–] finley@lemm.ee 7 points 22 hours ago

This is the first thing that came to mind, lol

The model codes to 2nd and 3rd Gen Intel I series chips. Made figuring out what processors were in used laptops quite easy back in the day. Now I have to Google them (doesn't help that their naming scheme is more confusing).

Former NBA players Jarrett Jack and Chris Duhon are cousins.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

C9 means RET
